Great stripper for prepping. The brightener restores wood grain and color.

    I applied twp stain (1501 cedartone) to cedar deck boards and railings 2+ years ago. High traffic areas are showing silvery indicating loss of protectant. Can I strip remaining and reapply or is sanding required? Do you recommend additives for the vertical ballisters?

    I don't understand the need for Restore-A-Deck kit and thickening gel and booster. Thank you

    Do you recommend the Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightner kit or Gemini Restore-A-Deck kit for preparing a deck? I have a cedar deck that has been stained multiple years ago (unknown amount of time). Plan is to use TWP 100.

        Sure, here you go. One of the front deck (March this year) and one of the back (April this year). Not the best shots but what I have now.

          You will have to strip this and use both stripper additives as well: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-stain-strippers/rad-stripper-additives

          Brightener last.

            Perfect, thanks! I have ~1300 sqft of deck surface. I believe I need 2x Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightener kit + 2x thickening gel + 2x booster. Can you confirm? Really appreciate the quick responses. Last question, what is the order to ship timeline?

    Will this kit remove Cabot Semi-Solid deck stain? Or should we pressure wash instead?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 07/02/2020
      No, you will have to sand it off a Cabot semi-solid.

    Does the restore a deck stripper/brightener ship to Canada? Also is the twp 200 series the only stain that ships to Canada?

    For my western red cedar deck in Oregon, which stain would you suggest after using the RAD stripper/brightener? 1500 series?

    Here are a couple pics of the western red cedar deck. Will the galvanized hog wire panels be okay if i decide to use the stripper and cleaner? Is sanding the deck an option?(would rather not)
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 06/19/2020
      Use the RAD Stripper/Brightener Kit first. Sand only if needed after. Should not harm the wire.

    I built a western red cedar deck here in Oregon last fall. It sat through the winter so I used Oxyclean to clean it before staining. I used Cabot alaskan timber oil "natural" semi trans stain. It now looks kinda like a Mango. Has an orange/yellow tint. Very dis satisfied with the Cabot product. I now would like to remove that stain and use TWP. I considered sanding the whole deck and railing.. Any suggestions?

    Hi I have TWP1011 on my deck (2017). I started to clean (soap and water) and was hoping to reapply stain. Now that I look at it I wonder if I need to strip and brighten before I apply stain? What do you recommend based on the picture? Thanks in advance.

      Strip and brighten with this kit above.

          If using 1500 series, you'll never have to strip again. For re-coats I pressure wash and after drying apply 1 wet on wet coat of 1500. After 30 minutes wipe off any excess. Ive completed over 3,000 deck in the past 35 years w/ TWP.

    If I did my deck last spring, replaced a ton of boards, used the Restore-A-Deck Stripper and Brightener, and I want to do another coat of stain this Spring, do I need to use the stripper and brightener again? Thanks.

      No, just cleaner for prep.

    We have a cedar deck with Cabot oil stain on it now. We want to change to the TWP 1500 series, do we need to totally strip the prior stain off?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 05/19/2020
      Yes. Strip and then Brighten.

        Thank you for your response. I'll get the additives since this could be stubborn to get off.

    Hello. I have a cedar deck with a Cetol SRD finish that needs a redo. Will the RAD stripper and brightener kit work to remove the stain or do I need to sand it? Thanks.

    I recently stripped my deck brightened it and restained. It now looks like this. Is there any to fix this. Would another coat help?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 05/14/2020
      Let it cure for a week or two and see if it evens out. Adding more will not fix it.

    Hello! Question about step 8 with the strip + brightening process. From what I researched, I need to make sure the deck is wet down, add the strip product, need to keep it wet while working on it and then wash it off thoroughly. With this process I will be sanding my deck as well a couple days later. When do I use the brightener? Step 8 says while everything is still wet, apply the brightener to neutralize. I am not suppose to do a zone larger then I can accomplish in 15 min. So am I switching between strip and brightener for each 15 min zone? In a previous comment there was comment that the brightener can be applied after the sanding, which would make the process easier. So would the steps be - I would strip, Rinse really well, allow 2 days to dry, sand, complete the brightener process, allow 2 days to dry, then stain? Thank you for any direction.

      Strip all until done and then brighten all after. If sanding then brightener all after the sanding.

    What type of sprayer would you recommend for the 1500 series pecan on a deck previously stained with the 100 series pecan?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 05/12/2020
      Make sure to prep correctly first. As for sprayers, any good quality pump sprayer will work.

    I will be using the stain stripper, with both additives, and then the brightner, my deck stairs are on a paver walkway, will the stripper or additives damage the pavers or is it ok if it gets on them?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 05/07/2020
      No they will not harm the pavers.

        Ok thanks, and what about the vinyl siding and my windows?
        also there are some boards that I replaced last year, and I also replaced the stair case, it’s pressure treated pine, should I hit that with the stripper also so everything is uniform , or is there no need?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 05/08/2020
          No. Just rinse everything well when done to remove soap suds and the grime that comes off the deck. You should clean all the wood and brighten after so it is even.

    Looking to re-stain our deck again as yearly it has sections where the colour strips away. This is after a good power washing. Do you think it needs a stripper and brightner or just cleanser and prep?

    also, I’m in Canada. What colour is best to match in the 200 series. Thanks

      You have to strip this if using the TWP. Maybe Butternut if you want a brown tone.
